Beast Taming: I have a simplified system

Chapter 447 Silkworms!

However, others were also afraid of the founder of the Little White Chamber of Commerce. What if he hadn't died and came back one day?

Therefore, they only hold the management rights of the chamber of commerce, while the Wang family members are still nominally the presidents of the chamber of commerce.

They thought it through very well. The Wang family was originally just acting as a proxy for management. By sidelining the Wang family, they were essentially just changing the proxy.

If that person really comes back someday, we can just return the entire Little White Merchant Guild.

Preserving the Wang family's honor can also be seen as saving that person's face.

If he has anyone to blame, it's the Wang family for their incompetence.

Therefore, the Wang family now has nothing but reputation.

Not all of Wang's ancestors were idiots. For example, Wang Xiaobai's father, on behalf of his ancestors, suddenly realized the truth.

But... it was too late.

The Xiaobai Chamber of Commerce has long been divided up.

That's the situation.

Wang Xiaobai drank a glass of bitter wine and concluded.

Yi Tian was stunned.

It felt like going from heaven to hell.

play me?

"Is... there really nothing left?"

Wang Xiaobai pondered for a moment and then said.

"Actually, it's not like we've lost everything. The Little White Chamber of Commerce's main business is breeding beasts. There are over 100,000 breeding bases on Little White Star."

"I now have management rights over one of them."

"This is also my main source of income."

"Speaking of which, that training base was given to my father by those who robbed the Little White Chamber of Commerce. They were afraid that my Wang family would starve to death one day and they would have trouble explaining it."

"After my father passed away, it was inherited by me."

"The net profit is about 1,000 Baihe coins per month."

"If Mr. Yi doesn't mind, I'll take you there after dinner and then hand over the management rights to you."

Yi Tian: ......

Destroy it.

At 1,000 a month, how long would it take to save up 5 million?

Yi Tian scratched his head and suddenly said.

"By the way, those people said they'd be willing to return the Little White Merchant Guild intact if my master ever came back, right?"

Wang Xiaobai nodded.

"Yes, that sir left behind many legendary stories in the White River System."

"Ordinary people may not know much about him, but the big shots in the Baihe faction all know about his power to some extent."

Yi Tian's eyes lit up.

"Then I'll just reveal my identity, won't that solve the problem?"

Wang Xiaobai sighed.

"They won't believe you, and even if some of them knew you were that person's disciple, they might pretend not to believe you because they're blinded by greed."

"Uncle Xiaobai, you can be my witness!"

Wang Xiaobai sighed again.

"If this were 100,000 years ago, my testimony might have been useful, but it's useless now."

Why?

"Back then, my grandfather conspired with a swindler to pretend he was that person's disciple and trick others into returning the money to the Chamber of Commerce."

"Later... he was found out."

"Even if I testify for you now, no one will believe me; they'll just think I'm using the same old tricks."

"Furthermore, Mr. Yi, it's not that I look down on you, but you've only just reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so even fewer people will believe it."

Yi Tian: ......

These ancestors of the Wang family really blocked their own path completely.

Anyway, let's go check out that only breeding base first.

During the journey to Little White Star, Yi Tian didn't sit idle; he stayed online the whole time.

He learned that Wanxing Academy's enrollment is held every two years, with the next enrollment period starting a year later.

Since there's still a year left, let's stay on Little White Star for now.

Let's see if we can make some money in a year. If not, then we'll just have to wait until we get into Wanxing Academy and then figure something out.

After the meal, Yi Tian, led by Wang Xiaobai, arrived at a factory.

The factory is about 400 square meters and contains hundreds of wooden frames, each with three layers, and each layer is covered with green leaves.

On the leaves, there were white, wriggling insects.

This is a silkworm rearing room!

"This kind of beast is called a silkworm. Its highest level is only Foundation Establishment Stage 6, and its lowest level is Foundation Establishment Stage 4."

"They can produce silk, which can be used to make clothing and in many research experiments, so it has considerable economic value!"

Yi Tian was somewhat surprised.

My goodness, a king-level insect!

If this happened on Earth, raising a king-level beast just to make clothes would be unimaginable.

"In the Wanxing Alliance, the quality of silk is classified according to multiple dimensions such as toughness and energy conductivity."

There are nine levels in total.

"Our Xiaobai silkworm breeding base can produce up to grade two silk."

"The market price for second-grade silk is approximately one hundred jin (50 kg) in Baihe currency."

Yi Tian hissed.

"So cheap?"

Wang Xiaobai laughed.

"The level is too low, so we can only focus on volume."

"I've also thought about improving the quality of silk, but I don't have the money to buy improvement plans."

Wang Xiaobai sighed.

"If it's grade three silk, it can sell for 10 jin for 1 Baihe coin."

"If it's level four, it's one Baihe coin per jin."

"The higher the grade, the more expensive it is!"

Yi Tian rubbed his chin, it seemed... there was some potential.

He asked Wang Xiaobai.

What are some ways to improve the quality of silk?

Wang Xiaobai said.

"Generally speaking, there are three types."

"The first type is that the silkworm uses a skill called silk spinning to spin silk, and the skill proficiency will increase as the silkworm lives longer."

"But under normal circumstances, even until death, it is difficult to reach a level of mastery."

"Increasing skill proficiency will improve the quality of silk."

Yi Tian raised an eyebrow.

Hey, I know this place well.

Wang Xiaobai continued.

"Secondly, we can improve the silkworms' diet. However, this requires finding a professional breeder to customize a diet plan, which costs money and is quite expensive, at least in the tens of thousands."

"The last method is to upgrade the silkworm's own level."

Yi Tian nodded.

"Okay, thank you, Uncle Xiaobai, I understand."

Wang Xiaobai pulled Yi Tian into an office.

Before entering, he said.

"There are five employees at this breeding base. Let me introduce you to them and, by the way, transfer the management to you."

At this point, a bitter look appeared on Wang Xiaobai's face again.

"These employees were all planted here by other people."

Yi Tian: ......

Wang Xiaobai is really having a tough time.

The group entered the room, which contained five people, all of whom were doing their own thing and none of them looked up.

Wang Xiaobai coughed twice, feeling a little embarrassed.
